while I cleaned up the terrariums and my snails were all together my fulica (that my snail is alone in its terrarium) has coupled with some other and has made of eggs this is the result but i think that they are still too much small to identify

Mike, me it seems improbable since the iredalei give birth babies and not eggs.
i have 10 tanks with: Achatina fulica Achatina fulica rodatzi Achatina fulica Umbilicata Achatina immaculata Achatina iredalei Achatina Smithii Achatina Reticulata Achatina Achatina Archachatina marginata saturalis Archachatina degneri
but a pair of times in order to wash the terrari I have put them all entirety for some hour

I think iredalei do produce eggs but they hold them internally then give birth to live young so it should be 'in theory' possible for them to cross breed like other snails do (perhaps ) so maybe Mike is right with his fulica/iredalei cross theory? Brian.
